sleadhed Posted May 1, 2014 Share #1 Posted May 1, 2014 Has any one been using the Delo 400LE oil?? I have been using Delo since I bought new in 2007. (30K+ miles)I had bought a few gallons of the Delo 15-40 before they came out with the 400LE. The API rating does not state "energy conserving" on the 400LE However I do not want to find out the hard way that it will cause my new clutch to slip. I only have two more oil changes left of the old Delo. If it wont play well with our wet clutches, I'll have to go to another brand. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peder_y2k Posted May 1, 2014 Share #2 Posted May 1, 2014 Not knowing, I hesitate to answer, but Delo was formulated for diesel engines and would NOT have any energy conserving architecture as diesel engines haven't changed in terms of oil stress. I use Shell Rotella in my bikes, and it is not 'energy conserving' rated. I buy it cheapest at Walmart for around $12.00/gal. -Pete, in Tacoma WA USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReinyRooster Posted May 1, 2014 Share #3 Posted May 1, 2014 I used it last year in my Wing and loved it. Haven't had the chance yet to run it in my RSV, but I plan on it soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herbie Posted May 2, 2014 Share #4 Posted May 2, 2014 Hey everybody, new guy to the forum just joined today. To Ken on the Delo 400LE I have used since 1st oil change 2011 Venture bought new in 2012. 12.000ish miles on the bike now no problems. I also used in my 1981 Goldwing 96,000 when I sold it. As far as I can tell The LE stands for low emissions for the new diesels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReinyRooster Posted June 13, 2014 Share #5 Posted June 13, 2014 Since doing my first oil change on my 06 and using Delo, unfortunately it seems to me that my chirping has actually gotten louder.......not what I was hoping for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
